“LAST SPRING”: ARRANGEMENTS, ORIGINAL COMPOSITIONS AND IMPROVISIONS

Henning Kraggerud (violin/viola); Bugge
Wesseltoft(piano)

Act ACT9526-2

Readers will need little introduction to
Kraggerud – his splendid
Naxos recordings (of mostly Scandinavian
repertoire) are world-
class, and his SIMAX disc of the Ysaÿe sonatas is
second to
none. His partnership with jazz musician
Wesseltoft
is as inspired as it was accidental, and provides
a canvas for a sequence of haunting meditations
and sound pictures. Beautifully recorded and
urgently recommended.
